This 630' (192m) long bridge has a main span of 150' (46m). "This bridge is one of the five remaining large concrete arch bridges on the Ohio River Boulevard. This is the only surviving example with multiple arch spans. Like the other arch bridges on Ohio River Boulevard, it has been altered with the widening of the deck. Some spandrel columns are also replaced. However the bridge remains an impressive example of concrete bridge construction and still maintains the same overall superstructure appearance." [HistoricBridges]
The rise for the arches is 38' (11.6m). [article, p1]

The Ohio River carved a canyon through here and the tributaries also carved canyons. The Ohio River Blvd. was built along the bluff and needed a bridge over each tributary.
